प्रश्न
A balloon filled with helium gas floats in a big closed jar which is connected to an evacuating pump. What will be your observation, if air from the jar is pumped out? Explain your answer.

उत्तर
Observation : The balloon will sink.
Explanation : As air is pumped out from jar, the density of air in jar decreases, so the upthrust on balloon decreases. As weight of balloon exceeds the upthrust on it, it sinks.
